Apricot Crisp

Apricot Crisp

Sweet, sun-ripened apricots take center stage in this nourishing summer dessert that’s as wholesome as it is satisfying. This Apricot Crisp is a celebration of seasonal simplicity—made with just a handful of real, nutrient-dense ingredients that work in harmony to deliver both comfort and nourishment in every bite.

At its heart are fresh apricots, rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants that support skin health and immunity while lending a naturally tangy-sweet flavor that intensifies beautifully in the oven. A splash of lemon juice not only brightens their taste but also helps balance the sweetness and support digestion. Coconut sugar steps in as a smart alternative to refined white sugar—providing a warm, caramel-like depth while keeping the glycemic impact lower.

The topping is a perfect contrast to the soft, bubbling fruit beneath. Almond flour creates a tender, subtly nutty base full of plant-based protein, vitamin E, and healthy fats. Chopped walnuts add crunch along with omega-3s and essential minerals like magnesium, supporting heart and brain health. Chilled coconut oil brings everything together into a crumbly, golden topping without the need for butter, making this recipe naturally dairy-free.

A touch of arrowroot powder helps the fruit filling thicken just enough as it bakes, keeping the texture luscious without the heaviness of traditional starches or flours. Once baked to a golden finish and cooled slightly, this crisp is ready to enjoy—ideally with a spoon, a smile, and perhaps a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream or coconut yogurt.

Serves four and made with intention, this Apricot Crisp proves that dessert can be both deeply comforting and nourishing—no compromise needed.
